Nancy Seamons Crookston 11/23/48 - 11/17/23

Just 8 days after shoulder surgery, 6 days before her 75th birthday, and a million days too soon, Nancy Seamons Crookston passed away suddenly and unexpectedly due to a blood clot that developed postoperatively. We are beyond shocked and devastated. She loved her Facebook friends so much and was so interested in learning from and living through all of you. We hope to have a celebration of her life and will share details soon.
